38W1D - OB APPT

Just got home from my OB appointment this morning! After being checked for the past 3 weeks; (With no progress) Today's check - I have not dilated any but my cervix has shortened a lot! OB said I will dilate very soon based on my cervix, baby's position and how I have been feeling lately. Baby is engaged and ready to go! My OB didn't set a date for induction by any means but stated "we will have a new baby next week"! (39 weeks). Of course this is an educated guess but my hopes are up! After delivering over 8000 babies over the course of his career and retiring this year, I feel my OB's guess may be right on! Nerves are really kicking in now and I'm so excited I could jump up and down!

I am 38 weeks today. I've been checked three times and have dilated almost a cm each week, on Friday I was 3 cm dilated and 90% effaced. Baby is engaged and head is very low. My doctor said I could have him sometime this week! If I don't have him by Friday she will sweep my membranes. So excited.

So excited for ya'll! I'm 38 weeks, 1 day too and have no dilated at all. Baby MIGHT have dropped A LITTLE today, but not much. I go back to OB on Wednesday so crossing my fingers SOMETHING is going on!

I have an appt tomorrow and ill be 38wks4days. I didnt get check at my last appt cuz i figured even if I was dilated it didnt mean much so I wanted to wait. So this will be my first check and i am nervous but super excited to see whats goin on down there!
